The Malamute Tavern has been located on the corners of South Park and Michigan since 1958. The original Malamute Tavern was located at 52 Michigan Ave, this was "kitty corner" to the current location at 211 South Park Ave.

The Michigan Ave. location was closed down in January 1977 and the current South Park location was opened without missing a beat.

In December 1965 Richard Pyszczek Sr. assumed ownership of the Malamute and he has been going strong ever since.
